where can you discover the charm of paris for yourself? is it in the legacy3 of all the french rulers who worked to beautify their beloved city? is it in the famous castles, palaces, statues and monuments, such as the eiffel tower? can you find it in the world-class museums, such as the louvre? perhaps paris' allure lies in the zest4 and style of the parisians.
你在哪儿可以找到巴黎对你一个人的吸引力呢？是不是是在历任的法国统治者们在美化他所钟爱的城市所留下來的遗产里？还是在那些有名的城堡、皇宫雕像和纪念碑比如艾菲尔铁塔之中？你能否在世界先进的博物馆，倒如卢浮宫中找着呢？可能巴黎的魅惑力在于巴黎人的特殊品味和风格。

take a stroll along the seine river. browse6 through the art vendors7, colorful paintings. peek8 through delicate iron gates at the well-kept gardens. watch closely for the french attention to detail that has made france synonymous with good taste. you will see it in the design of a doorway9 or arch and in the little fountains and quaint10 balconies. no matter where you look, you will find everyday objects transformed into works by art.
沿著塞纳河漫步。浏览艺术家们丰富色彩的绘画，透过那些精致的铁门，向內偷窺那些精心照看的花园。仔细留神法国人对于细节的留神。这使得法国成为好品味同义字。你可以在门廊或拱门与小喷泉和古怪有趣的走廊的设计上看见。不管你往哪儿看，你都可以发现平时物品已经变成了艺术品。
spend some time in a quiet park relaxing on an old bench. lie on your back on the green grass. when you need refreshment11, try coffee and pastries12 at a sidewalk cafe. strike up a conversation with a parisian. this isn't always easy, though. with such a large international population living in paris, true natives are hard to find these days.
花些时间，在一个安静的公园里面的旧板凳上轻松地休息。躺在青草地上。想吃点心的时候，尝尝路边咖啡馆的咖啡及点心。找一个巴黎人展开一段会话，但这也不太容易。有这么大的国际人口居住在此地。在这个年头要找到一个真的当地的巴黎人是非常难的。

巴黎到了傍晚时分，伴随码头上的雾气升起，巴黎的魅惑力也随之而起。你也会听到附近室外音乐会所演奏的乐曲。古典、爵士、歌剧或是香颂、即法国的民歌。巴黎人热爱我们的音乐，繁星点缀的天空，就是他们演奏的大礼堂。你也可以在皇宫或教堂里聆听音乐会。在巴黎，音乐是不会停止的。
